I’ll tell you a secret.
I particularly appreciate the editorials in the first issue of the magazines, and particularly those in the pulp magazines.
The reason lies in the fact that they, and only they, possess that particular energy that comes from great expectation, optimism and enthusiasm which seems to permeate the entire staff. Often the power of such editorials truly appears to the reader as capable of moving the whole world… Unfortunately, this great energy tends to wane with subsequent issues, sometimes sadly reaching the last issue without even an editorial.
However, the month of July will see us busy creating the First Editorials section, which will appear together with the other features in the right sidebar of our Home Page.
MORE PULP MAGAZINES
As promised last month, we have added 5 more issues of WEIRD TALES (July 1928, August 1928, October 1928, November 1928 and January 1929) on their page. Furthermore, 2 issues of SEA STORIES (June 1922 and September 1926) have been added to the five already present.
HORROR AUDIOBOOKS
The Horror section now contains the great Southern gothic “A Rose for Emily“, by William Faulkner, first published in THE FORUM magazine released on April 30, 1930, and today considered a classic.
If you like, you can listen to it below:
MOVIES
4 great classic horror films from the 30s and 40s have been added to our Pulp Movies list:
THE DEVIL BAT (1940), WHITE ZOMBIE (1932), MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE (1932) and THE CORPSE VANISHES (1942).
You can see the trailer of one of them below:
MORE OLD COMICS
This month will see the inclusion of the classic comic dedicated to RIN TIN TIN, America’s most famous dog. It will appear in two separate sections: the first will show his exploits in the 1950s in the great north, and therefore will not be connected in any way to the child Rusty and Lieutenant Rip Masters that most of us know. However, don’t worry! The second section will contain the adventures of our German shepherd in the comic version of the most famous western TV series.
The past few weeks we have added 10 issues, including the first, of TUROK, SON OF STONE from 1954 to 1957 in the Old Comics page.
Finally, we added two issues of the great PLANET COMICS (April 1940, November 1942) in their own section.
That’s all, for now!
See you next month on
Davide Dana.
